SLV is EX. Only some discolouration along the spine prevents this from being an EX+, with no creasing whatsoever. Inner slv shows one or two signs of wear from damp, but not too bad.

Vinyl is EX+ Looks unplayed, with hardly any signs of wear on the surface. Amazing condition!

“State of the Nation” is a 1986 single by New Order. Like most songs by the group, it was composed by all of its members (Peter Hook, Gillian Gilbert, Stephen Morris and Bernard Sumner). However, unlike other New Order tracks, the title is included not just in the regular song lyrics but even in the chorus; as well, the lyrics are specific and direct in attacking “deprivation” and making social commentary rather than taking a more esoteric or metaphorical approach. The protest song has appeared in several releases by the group including in the popular singles compilation Substance.
